Planned Parenthood Resumes HIV Testing

The free Planned Parenthood-sponsored HIV testing service at the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center will resume on Wednesday evenings, thanks to United States District Judge William Haynes' decision to grant a preliminary injunction to stop the state from excluding Planned Parenthood from HIV and syphilis testing programs.

The weekly testing was halted in February after the state Department of Health rescinded Planned Parenthood's grants for HIV and syphilis testing. The MGLCC testing runs from 6 to 9 p.m. every Wednesday at 892 S. Cooper.
